People have been writing wills in one form or
another probably since time began. Prior to 1858 it can be quite hard to find
them as they are in many different place. After 1858 all wills have been
deposited centrally and an index of these can be found at First Avenue House
Holborn. They are listed in heavy tomes sorted by alphabetical order and year, you can then order a copy of original for £5. As soon as the will has gone
to probate it is possible to order a copy. We all spend our lives keeping our
finances secret but soon as you die and leave a will it becomes a public
document

I have listed for all the variants of the
Isard name. I have also amassed quite a collection of copies of original ISARD
wills, I would be willing to look up info for those who want details of the
contents of a will, feel free to contact me
